Mumbai Indians is one of the franchises that is very active in the trade window. Even in the IPL 2024 Trade Window, they made a good move by signing Romario Shepherd. As per reports, they were also interested in a few other players. However, they could not sign these cricketers. Here, we take a look at three players Mumbai Indians reportedly targeted in the IPL 2024 Trade Window but could not sign.
1) Mitchell Marsh
As per some of the reports, Mumbai Indians had approached Mitchell Marsh to sign up for Mumbai Indians from Delhi Capitals. However, Delhi did not agree to the trade.
Of course, there was also a talk of Rohit Sharma being involved in this trade. If Rohit was going to DC, surely, Marsh would have been fit for a role in MI.
2) Kuldeep Yadav
Kuldeep Yadav is one of the players Mumbai Indians reportedly targeted in the IPL 2024 Trade Window but could not sign. Along with Marsh, Kuldeep was another Delhi player targeted by Mumbai. This rumour also happened when Rohit was linked with DC.
Mumbai Indians need a strong domestic spinner. The top franchise that they are, it was not a surprise that they went after the best Indian spinner at the moment.
3) R Sai Kishore
R Sai Kishore did not play in IPL 2023. This is despite his brilliant display in IPL 2023. Gujarat Titans will continue with the duo of Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad in the spin attack. Hence, Sai might not get to play a lot in IPL 2024. It is disappointing considering he recently made his debut for India.
Sai at Mumbai would have been perfect for both parties. The Tamil Nadu man would have led the spin attack and Sai would have also got more opportunities. However, it is understandable from GT that they did not let this happen.
